Title: Telephone apparatus and alert control method
Inventor: OKANO YOICHI
IPC: H04M1/724
Filed: 2000-09-27
Abstract: An alert control method in telephone equipment allowing communication with a certain person to be ensured is disclosed. A last-communication time of day related to a name of a person to communicate with is stored in a phonebook database.

Title: Analysis or disposal of surface adherents
Inventor: FOTHERGILL IAN ROBERT
IPC: B08B5/04
Filed: 2001-05-31
Abstract: A non-contacting method for removing substances adhered to a surface and either disposing of them or detecting and analysing them, involves a pressure chamber 9 supplied continuously with a clean gas through an inlet port 14. The gas escapes from the chamber through an annular orifice 10 thereby producing an annular wall jet 8 which when directed onto a surface 2 will flow along it with flow velocity components 16 directed radially inwards entraining removable substances from the surface 2. Opposing radial flow components 16 will on approach be forced away from the surface creating an axi-symmetric flow 17 away from the surface, enabling entrained substances to be transported from the surface 2 to a region within an exhaust port 18 isolated from higher pressure surrounding gas where transported substances may be detected and analysed prior to exhausting through an outlet pipe 19, or simply disposed of.

Title: Hydraulic wireline cutter
Inventor: BRUMLEY KENNETH A
IPC: E21B31/16
Filed: 2001-09-26
Abstract: A combination tool can be attached to a stuck wireline tool, then the wireline cut just above the stuck tool with a hydraulically driven cutter 36, allowing the wireline to be pulled out of the hole before fishing out the stuck tool.

Title: System on a chip (SOC) having system bus, external bus, and bus arbiter with programmable priorities for both buses
Inventor: KIM YOUNGSIL
IPC: G06F13/364
Filed: 2001-10-04
Abstract: A system on a chip has functional blocks (e.g. 434,436) accommodated by at least one system bus (410), and an external bus (415) for accommodating communication with external blocks (e.g. 473,482). A single multi-jurisdictional bus arbiter (495) has programmable rankings for assigning priorities to requests from blocks that are masters for either one of the both buses. Software and methods are also provided for assigning the priorities. The requests are analyzed with respect to which of the buses they require, and then priorities are assigned to maximize bus utilization, with increased speed for a system on a chip. In addition, a multi-jurisdictional multi-channel direct memory access block (430) can be a master block for the system bus or the external bus. The arbiter allows concurrent use of the system bus and the external bus by functional blocks which only require the use of one of the buses.
Patent GB-2371440-A (GB)
Title: Method and system for identifying and processing changes in a network topology
Inventor: PULSIPHER ERIC A
IPC: H04L12/24
Filed: 2001-10-24
Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for mapping the topology of a network having interconnected nodes by identifying changes in the network and updating a stored network topology based on the changes. The nodal connections are represented by data tuples that store information such as a host identifier, a connector interface, and a port specification for each connection. A topology database (350) stores an existing topology of a network. A topology converter (340) accesses the topology database and converts the existing topology into a list of current tuples. A connection calculator (320) calculates tuples to represent connections in the new topology. The topology converter (340) receives the new tuples, identifies changes to the topology, and updates the topology database (350) using the new tuples. The topology converter (340) identifies duplicate tuples that appear in both the new tuples and the existing tuples and marks the duplicate tuples to reflect that no change has occurred to these connections. The topology converter (340) attempts to resolve swapped port conditions and searches for new singly-heard and multi-heard host link tuples in the list of existing tuples. The topology converter (340) also searches for new conflict link tuples in the existing tuples. The topology converter (340) updates the topology database (340) with the new topology.

Title: Multi-layer LC filter with reduced stray capacitance
Inventor: SHINGAKI TADASHI
IPC: H03H7/01
Filed: 2002-12-24
Abstract: A multi-layer LC filter includes a terminal layer 3, and a plurality of capacitor electrode layers 4, 5, 6. An inductor layer 8 is disposed above the capacitor electrode layers to thereby form a laminated body 2. Further, first and second strip-shaped side-surface electrodes 10b are formed on opposite side surfaces of the laminated body, and are connected to input and output terminals 17, 18 of the terminal layer, respectively. The distal ends of the first and second strip-shaped side-surface electrodes reach the corresponding side surfaces of the capacitor electrode layers, but do not reach the side surfaces of the inductor layer. Thus, the distances between the resonator inductors L1, L2 of the inductor layer and the strip-shaped side-surface electrodes are increased, so that stray capacitance is hardly generated between the resonator inductors and the side-surface electrodes.
